Building Infrastructure in Qin After Unlocking a Supermarket

*

Modern liberal arts student Wang Xiang transmigrates to the Qin dynasty and is born into a family of Qin generals.

Come on, what liberal arts student doesn't know that Qin fell after the second emperor? Wang Xiang racks her brains trying to find a way out for her dozens of family members. But her older brother is Wang Li, the general defeated by Xiang Yu at the Battle of Julu; her father is Wang Ben, the meritorious Marquis Tongwu; and her grandfather is Wang Jian, the famous general who led the forces that conquered the Six Kingdoms!

She's a Qin descendant through and through, bound to the third generation of the Qin dynasty. Which rebel faction would ever dare put her to use in the future?

Fortunately, she transmigrated early. The Six Kingdoms have yet to be unified, and the Qin dynasty can still be saved. After much deliberation, Wang Xiang decides to infiltrate the upper ranks of Qin first and find a chance to advise the First Emperor.

As luck would have it, while fighting desperately on the battlefield and rising through the ranks on the strength of her military achievements, she unexpectedly unlocks her transmigration golden finger: a supermarket.

Wang Xiang bursts into tears of joy.

Who gets it, guys? The hard times are finally over. I've found a shortcut to staying alive!

Wang Xiang's reflections, recorded in her diary.

Today I secretly watched King Zheng of Qin tell my grandfather Wang Jian, “Are you really going to abandon me?” I quietly vowed that one day the First Emperor would beg me, too.

What, you think the First Emperor would be too proud to beg a junior like me the way he begged my grandfather?

But when I bring out corn, sweet potatoes, a method for making salt, papermaking, and gunpowder... Um, why not?

Year x, day x

The First Emperor treats the worthy with respect and has a long, heart-to-heart talk with me. Not only does he bestow a noble rank upon me, he also sends the refined and elegant eldest prince to keep me company every day, hoping to win my heart.

A brilliant scheme, and a clever move.

“Ah Xiang, this book is profound. Could you explain it to me in simpler terms?” A warm, gentle voice brushes past her ear.

Wang Xiang... Wang Xiang gazes at the eldest prince, as graceful as an orchid and as elegant as a jade tree, holding a modern book in his hands. Her cheeks grow warm.

Ahem. I fell for it after all.

P.S. Parallel timeline, an overpowered golden finger, and a mindless, feel-good nation-building story.

The female lead's one and only partner is the eldest prince, Fusu. She transmigrates early and grows up with Fusu as his childhood sweetheart. Their romance is not melodramatic, and the ending sees her become the empress of Qin.
